"It should be noted that as with all of Dr. Bronner's Castile soap products, if you have HARD water, this product will NOT lather well. With that being said, my husband and I both use this product for shaving, and love it! We switched from another environmentally-friendly brand because I am very sensitive to fragrances.

This product lathers very well in our soft, filtered water (we have a whole-house filtration system to get the nasties out of our municipal water). My husband uses a bristle shaving brush, which produces a LOT of lather, while I opt for the simple in-hand lathering which produces more than enough lather for my needs. Both of us have sensitive skin, and we have experienced close shaves with no razor burns nor irritation from ingredients in the product. Another bonus is that there is no gunky buildup on the razor blade (increasing razor blade life!), and the product rinses clean from the skin. Another win from the Dr. Bronner's line!"

"It starts out as a dark brown color and turns white once you get it lathered up. It doesn't lather that well. And it stings a bit when I use it. I like Dr. Bronner's in general, but I am not a fan of this product."

"This is the best organic/natural shave product that I have ever used. It actually lathers on your skin. Do not be alarmed by the brown color when you apply it. It works great and there is no irritation."
